Client
“Stuart & Dominic have recruited over 70% of our Engineering Services business unit. In a challenging and competitive market the level of professionalism, honesty and the A grade talent presented has always impressed us. The individuals we have recruited have added a significant commercial advantage to our business unit. I have real confidence in their ability to represent CBRE.”

“Talent Motion is, without doubt, the best recruitment company I’ve dealt with in my career to date. They take the time to understand the objectives of the business making the hire, as well as those of the candidate before putting them forward for the role. Professional. Personable. Highly recommended.”

Other Testimonials

“I have known Dominic for a number or years. He has not only provided me with subtle career advice but he has provided valuable input into my historical business unit’s recruitment and retention strategy during a period when the employers market became increasingly challenging. In more recent times, following the saturation of the recruitment market, Dominic continued to identify and represent extremely credible senior engineering, construction and property professionals, making a measurable contribution to the growth of the business.”

CTO & COO, Kao Data

“I had the pleasure of working with Stuart when I was considering a move from design consultancy into property consultancy, and I can honestly say the process couldn’t have gone better. From the very first conversation, Stuart was clear, open and incredibly well-informed about the role and the wider business at CBRE.

What really stood out was the amount of time he took to make sure I understood not just the role itself, but also the culture, expectations and opportunities within CBRE. The insights he shared before my interviews were spot on and gave me the confidence to approach the process fully prepared.

Stuart also kept the focus on career progression, making sure every step aligned with my goals. I never felt like I was just being placed into a role, it was clear he genuinely wanted the right fit for me and for the company. That made all the difference.

I’m now in my new role with CBRE and very glad I made the move. I’d highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking to take the next step in their career within M&E engineering, his knowledge, support and professionalism are second to none.”
